New York. 1954. August 1954. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Paperback Edition. Wear At Bottom of Spine, Otherwise Good in Wrappers. 126 pages. paperback. 1152. Painted front cover by Stanley Zuckerberg. keywords: Mystery America. DESCRIPTION - Out of jail and back at work, a boxing trainer finds a woman worth fighting for. It took some doing, but Duke Webster is out of prison. Val Valenty arranged the parole, and now the onetime boxing coach is his puppet, breaking his back on Valenty's farm in exchange for a pittance. But Valenty is about to find out that boxing men never take orders without a scrap. The trouble starts when Webster meets Valenty's wife. A barrel-shaped woman whose extreme weight makes her old before her time, Holly stays fat on Valenty's cooking - meat, potatoes, and endless gravy. Webster puts her on a diet, slimming her down the way he would an over-the-hill pro in search of a comeback. But as her waistline shrinks and her beauty emerges, Valenty gets jealous - putting them on course for a bloody confrontation where only the hungry will survive. A poet of the tabloid murder. - Edmund Wilson. No one has ever stopped reading in the middle of one of James Cain's books. - Saturday Review of Literature. Nobody else has ever quite pulled it off the way Cain does, not Hemingway, and not even Raymond Chandler. Cain is a master of the change of pace. - Tom Wolfe. inventory #42930 Wear At Bottom of Spine, Otherwise Good in Wrappers.
